Watson, 20, is charged with murder in the shooting death of
Marvin Ector on Dec. 23. (A 15-year-old boy, Michael Henderson, is facing a
delinquency count of murder in the same homicide). Both were arrested
on Friday.

Back when Watson was 17 and in front of a juvenile court judge on delinquency counts of carrying
a concealed weapon and tampering with evidence, an assessment was done of Watson and added to his
file. One entire page listed his tattoos.

Some you can see in his current mug shot. A cross between his eyes, “21
st” in the corner of his right eye, “RIP Hootie,” with one word under each eye. (Hootie
is the nickname of 15-year-old
Daequan Nix, killed in a shooting in July 2010. Watson would have been 16 at the
time.)

“MT” in the corner of his left eye means Money Time. On his neck is “N.O.N” (North or
Nothing).

Other tattoos listed at the time included:

“M.O.B” on his stomach (Money over bitches)

“Grimey 90’s” with flames on his right forearm

“Aug. 17, ‘93” (his birthday) on his right forearm.

“Cleveland Ave.” across both forearms

A money bag with dollar bills on his right forearm

“D Blocc” across both wrists

“Money $ Squad” on his left forearm

A grim reaper with a gun on his left forearm

Several names, including the mother of his youngest child, his son, his mom, his niece and two
nephews

C O L U M B U S, with a letter across eight knuckles

The assessment wrote a bit about his tattoos and associated problems.

“Michael presents with several issues, many pertaining to the ‘street life’ mentality that he
states he is trying to stay away from … He has many ties to the streets, including gang members. He
has admitted being part of ‘D-Blocc’ and has several gang related tattoos that he reports wanting
to have removed. Though it is apparent that several of his tattoos may limit his success in
obtaining employment etc., it still appears that he uses this as an excuse for many issues.”

He spent three months in juvenile detention before being granted early release in November
2011.

Currently, he’s being held at the Franklin County jail on $2 million bond.
